Chapter 3334: Against Heaven's Will

The guy guarding the gate was slapped again by Shen Xiuyuan. He covered his face and looked at me in disbelief.

Originally he wanted to ask Shen Xiuyuan to come and deal with me, but ended up getting himself into trouble.

"What are you still standing there for? Apologize to him." Shen Xiuyuan shouted angrily.

The boy covered his face and kept bowing to me: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I didn't know you were the master's guest."

"Be smarter next time. We never look at the owner when we beat a dog." Xiaopang had the most vicious words and added another stab.

Then, Shen Xiuyuan grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the yard: "Xiao Jie, why didn't you say hello to me when you came to the Northeast this time? We are destined to meet. I think you almost became my apprentice back then."

"Old Master Shen, who said it wasn't true? If I had not been in a coma, I would definitely choose you as my master. I feel close to you when I see you, as if we knew each other in our previous life." I coaxed Old Man Shen to be happy, and together we walked towards their manor.

Shen Xiuyuan was really happy to see me, and we were talking and laughing all the way. The disciples around him looked at me with unfriendly eyes. I don’t know why the famous Shen Xiuyuan was so enthusiastic towards me, much better than he was to them.

We walked quickly along the way and soon arrived at a hall, where the host and guests took their seats.

As soon as we sat down, servants brought us tea.

Shen Xiuyuan laughed heartily a few times: "Xiao Jie, since you are in the Northeast this time, stay a few more days. I will take you around."

"Senior Shen, you are very busy and I can't waste your time. I came here this time because I need your help with something." I looked at him with a smile.

"Oh...you want my help? That's no problem. Here in the Northeast, my name is Shen and my words are influential. Just tell me what it is. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you." Shen Xiuyuan agreed immediately.

I smiled and took out a purple gem from the Dragon-Tiger Mirror. This thing was given to us by the prince of the Di Ru Kingdom when we went to the Black Territory. I kept a few of them on purpose, thinking that they might be useful someday.

At this moment, I took out the purple gemstone and handed it to Shen Xiuyuan: "Senior Shen, I came here this time to prepare a small gift for you. It's not a token of respect, I hope you like it."

Shen Xiuyuan looked at the gem in my hand and his eyes lit up immediately: "This... this is a treasure, priceless, you are really generous."

"It's not worth much, it's not worth much. As long as Senior Shen likes it, it's fine. We are a family. It doesn't matter who it is given to." I kept trying to get closer to him.

Shen Xiuyuan laughed twice: "Well, since you gave me something, I will gladly accept it."

After a pause, Shen Xiuyuan looked at me again: "Xiao Jie, you just said you wanted to ask me for help, what is it?"

I hesitated for a moment and glanced at his disciples around. Shen Xiuyuan immediately understood what was going on. He waved his hand at them and said, "All of you go out. Xiao Jie and I have something to discuss alone."

After saying this, Shen Xiuyuan's disciples all looked in my direction, then turned around and left the hall.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Shen Xiuyuan was very curious.

"To be honest with you, Senior Shen, the reason I came to the Northeast this time is because I took over a business from your Northeast. The employer had come to you before, but your business was very busy and he couldn't make an appointment. In desperation, he had to run to Yanbei to find me. I happened to be free, so I took it. This matter is a bit tricky. It's a feng shui business. Now several people in the employer's family have died in succession, and even the employer himself will not live long. There are some things I don't understand, so I came to ask Senior Shen for advice." I said politely.

"You kid has received personal instruction from the Feng Shui King, so what could you not understand about Feng Shui?" Shen Xiuyuan asked with a smile.

"It's not a Feng Shui issue. This matter may be related to your Shen family." My face became serious.

Shen Xiuyuan was also stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face disappeared.

"Then come and listen."

"It's like this. The employer for the business I took on this time is a man named Liu Yuankui. I went to take a look at his family's ancestral tomb, and it really is a Feng Shui treasure land. An expert chose the Nine Dragons Golden Toad Cave for it, which has blessed the Liu family for several generations. However, something went wrong in Liu Yuankui's generation. Someone tampered with their ancestral tomb and destroyed the Feng Shui. They took away a piece of tibia from the old man's neck, which resulted in the deaths of seven or eight people in the Liu family within a year. The layout of this Nine Dragons Golden Toad Cave seems to me to be the method used by the Xuankong School to select a site, so I came here to ask, does Senior Shen know about this?" I said very tactfully.

His eyes were fixed on Shen Xiuyuan, watching how he would answer.

If he denies this, I really will be helpless.

After listening to me, Shen Xiuyuan pondered for a moment, looked at me again, and said: "Xiao Jie, you are not an outsider, I will not hide this from you. The feng shui layout of the Nine Dragons Golden Toad Cave of the Liu family is indeed the work of our Shen family. I also know that Liu Yuankui has come to me several times, but I have always refused for various reasons. It's not that I can't handle his affairs, but I am afraid of being contaminated by karma..."

"So what's going on?" I asked knowingly.

"Xiao Jie, you are too cunning. You should know what's going on, otherwise you wouldn't have come to me. You must have discovered that there is a body buried under the coffin of the old man of the Liu family. That body was from the family of the Liu family's mortal enemy. Back then, the old man of the Liu family and an enemy were incompatible and irreconcilable, so he captured a close relative of the enemy's family and buried him alive under the coffin. This is against the harmony of heaven and is really intolerable."

"For those of us who work in the Feng Shui business, the most taboo thing is to use Feng Shui techniques to harm others, which will surely bring down divine punishment. But Old Master Liu gave us too much back then, so my ancestor agreed to help him do this. However, after my ancestor helped Old Master Liu do this, he passed away a few years later. He was less than fifty years old when he died. At that time, our Shen family did not have the power we have now, and we had no choice but to do such a thing. So, I don't want to be involved in this matter anymore, for fear that I will be contaminated by some cause and effect. After all, this matter is indeed related to our Shen family." Shen Xiuyuan did not hide anything and told me the truth.

Now that he said that, this matter will be much easier to handle.
